Inspiration

Mental health is an essential part of general well-being but is often neglected. We wanted to develop a sensitive, AI-driven solution that assists users in monitoring their emotions, developing awareness, and seeking guidance. Inspired by the increasing demand for accessible mental health tools, we built Mentee Pro to bridge the gap between self-care and professional help. The app includes a mood journal, awareness resources, and an AI chatbot named Ana that helps users feel emotionally supported.

What It Does

Mentee Pro is a mental wellness platform that helps users:

Track their moods through a mood journal to identify emotional patterns.
Learn about mental health with curated awareness resources and articles.
Receive emotional support from Ana, an AI chatbot that provides empathetic and evidence-based responses.
Gain insights through AI-driven analytics that suggest coping mechanisms and self-care strategies.

How We Built It

Frontend: React.js & Tailwind CSS for a seamless, responsive UI.
Backend: Flask handles API interactions, while LangChain and Groq power Ana's conversational AI.
Database & Vector Search: Pinecone efficiently stores and retrieves mental health knowledge.
AI & LLM: We use LLMs to generate personalized, empathetic responses while maintaining strict ethical guidelines.

Challenges We Ran Into

Balancing Empathy & AI: It was challenging to ensure that Ana would provide both supportive and evidence-based responses.
Crisis Handling: There was the task of emergency detection without causing too many false alarms.
Efficient Data Retrieval: Technically, Pinecone & LangChain was optimized for fast, context-aware responses.
Ensuring User Privacy: Mental health data is sensitive, so we have implemented very strong security measures to protect user information.

Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

Building a meaningful mental health tool that can genuinely support users in their more challenging times.
Integrate an interactive mood journal where users can reflect on emotional patterns.
Successful implementation of Pinecone & LangChain for accurate and fast responses with AI.

What We Learned

Mental health AI must be fine-tuned to produce helpful, ethical, and non-triggering responses.
User experience is key: clean and intuitive UI encourages more people to engage with mental wellness tools.
Security & privacy are a priority when dealing with sensitive emotional data.
Building an AI chatbot is not just about training a model; understanding user intent and psychology is crucial for real impact.

What's Next for Mentee Pro

Personalized mental health insights using AI-powered emotional trend analysis.
Voice-based interaction so users can talk to Ana instead of just typing.
Community support features where users can share experiences (while maintaining anonymity).
Integration with therapists for professional guidance and therapy session recommendations.
Multilingual support to make Mentee Pro accessible to a global audience.

Just beginning! Mentee Pro is in the process of making mental health support more accessible, proactive, and stigma-free.
